Made this cake this afternoon because I had some overly ripe bananas that I didn't want to lose! I made several modifications (used greek yogurt in place of part of both the butter and sour cream), used light butter rather than regular, and used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose. Also cut the sugar, as it just seemed like too much, and didn't have a much in the way of chocolate chips, so I just added what I had and skipped putting them on top of the batter. It turned out splendidly though - thanks for posting this!

Really tasty snack cake! I made a different cake last night as the kids were going to bed and told them they could have some in the morning. Problem was, that cake was awful and I needed to be able to make something quickly. This fit the bill! I used bananas I had frozen and microwaved until they were soft, and fat free sour cream. I also didn't have mini chips so I used regular, and just put them all in the batter. Not terribly moist (which may be because of the far free sour cream) but not dry and with a lovely light banana flavor. The batter is very thick and this makes a lot of cake. Thanks!
